Children are set to let their imaginations run wild as they hop on a magical cycle-powered carousel in Scunthorpe town centre this month.
The Bewonderment Machine, adorned with hand-carved woodland creatures, puppetry and music, is the star attraction of this year’s free Green Future event, returning to Scunthorpe on Saturday, September 14, from 11am to 4pm.
The family-oriented day is brimming with interactive experiences designed to encourage us to appreciate nature and ponder how we can contribute to making our local environment cleaner and greener. Families will also have the opportunity to meet Mother Nature and her comical squirrel sidekick, with prizes up for grabs for those who join her recycling mission to beautify the world.

This fun-filled day marks the end of North Lincolnshire Council’s free summer events programme in Scunthorpe. Hundreds of families have participated in the free Wonderful Wednesday activities held weekly on Scunthorpe High Street, which even included the chance to explore a mobile cave.
Cllr David Rose, cabinet member for environment and strategy, said: “Last year’s Green Future event was a great success, with families queuing up for the chance to step inside an enormous inflatable whale. This year we’re bringing even more incredible activities to Scunthorpe town centre, including an amazing cycle-powered carousel.
“As well as being a great way to have fun, these activities encourage all of us, and especially our young people, to consider how the simple actions we take can have a positive impact on the environment whether that is striving to recycle more or caring for the habitats that surround us.”
